Bandelier, who wrote Traditions of Pre-Colombian Landings on the Western Coast of South America, in the American Anthropologist in 1905, offered some information: Almost parallel with the Tonapa [Tunupa] and Viracocha lore is the myth of Bochica or Nemquetheba (Nemtherequeteba), also called Zuh, among the Muysca or Chibcha Indians of Colombia.

In simpler English, McDowell appears to be saying that there is a culture-hero complex among the Chibchan nations of central Colombia, in which the figure of Bochica finds parallels with other Indigenous messengers like Guequiau, Juan Tama of the Paez people, and Wangetsmuna of the Sibundoy. Looking beyond reports of locals, the lights of Juaica were the focus of Colombianethnographer, Luis Guillermo Vasco Urie, who in his 1972 paper, Roads Of Water, listed hundreds of similar light-phenomenon at mountains across Colombia which he calls Mohan (blues-male lights) and Mohana (red-female lights).
It appears that the most common name for this Indigenous messenger of God is Bochica, about whom precious little is known, since the accounts are so fragmentary. These lights are the cause of the education of souls and the source of the enlightenment of hearts, sending forth in effulgent radiance the message of the glad tidings of the Kingdom of God. Dr. Montoya introduced me to the 16th century Spanish accounts, for example, chroniclersJuan de Castellanosin his Elegas de varones ilustres de Indias in which Spanish colonists residing in Tabio said the local Muisca believed their gods and goddesses came and went in arcs of light which they called ranchitosencendidos (little houses of light) after the lights they watched interacting with the Pea de Juaica. Where this poses a problem is that in other similar instances of reported lights skeptics forward reasonable arguments which challenge notions of ball-lightening, and for comparison we might look towards theNaga fireballsof Thailand, also known as the Mekong lights and "ghost lights." Also on the very fringes of accepted science many believe that the mountain holds some sort of superior technology capable of warping space-time, that causes compasses to spin, smartphones to jam and to rationalize all the reports of hikers descending the summit on the east face and arriving much later at the west side, two to three hours from the main road.

The Pea de Juaica features heavily in modern supernatural stories and every year hundreds of reports describe mysterious blue and red leaving and entering its summit which greatly today interpreted as UFOs, but for at least four centuries Spanish accounts and indigenous mythology have called these lights: Mohan, and their female versions: Mohana. And to illustrate how ingrained these mystery lights are in modern Colombia culture, in a pre-production meeting with the Mayor of Tabio, RubnDaro AceroGarca, he said many of the modern indigenous people in Tabio believe Juaica is a portal to another dimension and to many locals in Tabio the reason it is called El Puerto de Los Dioses is because the hill serves as an UFO airport. However, all this aside, over the last three years I have conducted several research projects on the mountain and during this time I have ascertained a set of geologic and metrological circumstances which might offer down to Earth origins for these extraordinary light shows, flying-disks and whizzing balls of so called energy.1. Several deities were central to the faith of the ancient Muisca, but the primary gods were Su, the sun god, and father of the Muisca, and Bachu, the water goddess and mother of the people.

Bandelier, who wrote Traditions of Pre-Colombian Landings on the Western Coast of South America, in the American Anthropologist in 1905, offered some information: Almost parallel with the Tonapa [Tunupa] and Viracocha lore is the myth of Bochica or Nemquetheba (Nemtherequeteba), also called Zuh, among the Muysca or Chibcha Indians of Colombia.

These lights are the cause of the education of souls and the source of the enlightenment of hearts, sending forth in effulgent radiance the message of the glad tidings of the Kingdom of God. Dr. Montoya introduced me to the 16th century Spanish accounts, for example, chroniclersJuan de Castellanosin his Elegas de varones ilustres de Indias in which Spanish colonists residing in Tabio said the local Muisca believed their gods and goddesses came and went in arcs of light which they called ranchitosencendidos (little houses of light) after the lights they watched interacting with the Pea de Juaica. Where this poses a problem is that in other similar instances of reported lights skeptics forward reasonable arguments which challenge notions of ball-lightening, and for comparison we might look towards theNaga fireballsof Thailand, also known as the Mekong lights and "ghost lights." Also on the very fringes of accepted science many believe that the mountain holds some sort of superior technology capable of warping space-time, that causes compasses to spin, smartphones to jam and to rationalize all the reports of hikers descending the summit on the east face and arriving much later at the west side, two to three hours from the main road.

The Pea de Juaica features heavily in modern supernatural stories and every year hundreds of reports describe mysterious blue and red leaving and entering its summit which greatly today interpreted as UFOs, but for at least four centuries Spanish accounts and indigenous mythology have called these lights: Mohan, and their female versions: Mohana. And to illustrate how ingrained these mystery lights are in modern Colombia culture, in a pre-production meeting with the Mayor of Tabio, RubnDaro AceroGarca, he said many of the modern indigenous people in Tabio believe Juaica is a portal to another dimension and to many locals in Tabio the reason it is called El Puerto de Los Dioses is because the hill serves as an UFO airport. However, all this aside, over the last three years I have conducted several research projects on the mountain and during this time I have ascertained a set of geologic and metrological circumstances which might offer down to Earth origins for these extraordinary light shows, flying-disks and whizzing balls of so called energy.1.
